Tanjong Pagar sunk by late Chiang winner
A last-gasp strike from Jeremy Chiang helped Home United beat Tanjong Pagar United 2-1 in the Great Eastern-YEO's S.League on Thursday night.
By Alison ChinFollow @@AlisonChin9
After a goalless first half, Home custodian Nazri Sabri and opposition counterpart Shamsudin Hashim conceded one apiece in quick succession when Anthony Aymard put the Jaguars in the lead in the 46th minute, only for Shotaro Ihata to equalise a minute later.
But just when the game looked headed for a draw, Protectors left-back Jeremy Chiang consigned the visitors to defeat when he popped up to score a surprise winner in the eighth minute of injury-time.
A narrow loss to DPMM FC in their previous game had extinguished Home's title aspirations, but there was still plenty for them to play for on Thursday, with coach Lee Lim-saeng undoubtedly looking to avenge their 1-0 defeat his side were handed in the reverse fixture earlier in the year.
Despite entering the game six places above their opponents, the hosts were missing a number of players through injury, including stalwarts Lionel Lewis, Shi Jiayi and Qiu Li. The Jaguars, on the other hand, had much better fortune on the injury front, with skipper Delwinder Singh the only notable absentee for Terry Pathmanathan's men.
And with most of their regulars accounted for, Tanjong Pagar looked very comfortable in the early exchanges, easily crowding out opposing striker Frederic Mendy whenever the Protectors sought out their French attacker.
The Home defence attempted to do the same to their opponents but Pathmanthan's team were unfazed, passing the ball calmly from side to side just in front of Sabri's penalty box until an opening presented itself.
Ex-Home man Hafiz Nor, who returned to the Queenstown Stadium midway through the season, was the Jaguars' brightest player early on as he took on Chiang down the right wing with aplomb.
However, it was his opposite number Firdaus Idros who came close to breaking the deadlock first. Meeting a Kenji Arai cross from the left in the 10th minute, the winger's unchallenged header could have put his team in the lead if Jaguars goalkeeper Shamsudin had not palmed the effort over the bar.
Ten minutes later, Shamsudin himself was a source of attack for the visitors as his long ball sent Asraf Rashid racing down the wing, but after capitalising on some poor positioning by Nor Azli Yusoff, the 27-year-old could only watch as his dangerous delivery was scrambled away for a corner.
At the other end, the Jaguars defence were beginning to struggle with the physical threat presented by Mendy, especially from set-pieces. A freekick from Nor Azli two minutes before the half-hour mark saw the striker rise easily above his marker and nod the ball into the path of Arai, who attempted a volley that had Shamsudin well beaten, only for his effort to come back off the bar.
By now, Home were starting to look increasingly dangerous although desperate defending from Tanjong Pagar for the rest of the first half ensured both sides went into the break goalless, but the scoreline had a very different look to it just moments after the referee blew for the start of the second period.
Scoring was likely the last thing on Aymard's mind when he took a free kick from within his own half in the 46th minute. However, the ball's flight eluded everyone before bouncing over Nazri's head into goal, putting Pathmanathan's men in the lead.
Undeterred, Home responded less than a minute later when Ihata drilled in a low shot from the right side of the penalty area after being brilliantly set up by Song Ui-young.
The back-to-back strikes set the tone for what was to be an action-packed second period, as the Protectors went in search of the winner.
Ihata almost added an assist to his goal two minutes later when he sent Rhysh Roshan Rai through on goal and one-on-one with the Jaguars custodian, only for Shamsudin to come up with a fine reflex save from close range.
Shamsudin was now being afforded little protection by his defenders, all of whom could find no answer to the sudden vigour of the Protectors' attack. The goalkeeper proved the difference once again in the 57th minute when he collected Arai's powerful header from a corner just when it looked like the ball had crossed the line.
With everything they threw at him being repelled by the 26-year-old, Home began attacking at a frantic pace in hopes of forcing an error from the Tanjong Pagar custodian.
That nearly happened in the 69th minute when Shamsudin came off his line but failed to collect a freekick into the box, allowing Mendy to cut it across for the waiting Masrezwan Masturi. However, the experienced midfielder miscued his bicycle-kick attempt and allowed the opposition defence to clear away the danger.
The crosses and set-pieces continued to rain down in the Tanjong Pagar penalty box, but the visiting team were let off the hook time and time again by wayward finishing from Mendy and Indra.
Still, Lee's men could have sewed up a deserving three points when Song was brought down in the box two minutes before time after the 19-year-old had surged through the heart of the Jaguars defence.
However, Ihata failed in his attempt to get his name on the score-sheet for the second time when Shamsudin went the right way to keep out the forward's tame penalty.
Still, all that did was set up the stage for Chiang to emerge as the unlikely hero for Home, which he did eight minutes past regulation time when he capitalised on some lacklustre defending from Tanjong Pagar to lash home the winning goal.
The victory was enough to push the Protectors to fourth spot, overtaking Harimau Muda on goal difference, while Tanjong Pagar remain third from bottom after Chiang's late winner meant they left the Bishan Stadium empty-handed.
Home United: Nazri Sabri, Jeremy Chiang, Kenji Arai, Sofiyan Abdul Hamid, Shotaro Ihata, Frederic Mendy, Firdaus Idros (Indra Sahdan 53'), Rhysh Roshan Rai, Masrezwan Masturi, Nor Azil Yusoff, Song Ui-young

There's one thing which can spoil me the day outdoors. Those are the little flies which happen to fly directly into my eyes.
I'm working at computer and my eyes are dry and over-sensitive. If such insect falls into my eye, it result in intensive stinging, something making me unable to open the eyes. It is intensive even long after the insect is gone. I don't know if it is allergic reaction or some fragments of insect body are left and the eye has not enough tears to quickly remove them.
Why do those flies fall into my eyes in the first line? They should have self-instinct preventing them from that. Are they attracted to eye for some particular reason or it is just an accident? What is more important - how to distract those little insects? Can I do anything to do that? Maybe should I do something so that my eyelashes are thicker and longer?

Jaroslav Uhlíř To Start Off 2nd Pilsner Race For 'Paraple' (Translation)
9 July 2009
Plzen, 7 July 2009 - On Thursday, July 9 at 5.30 pm, the second year of the Race for 'Paraple' will take place in Plzen. The race is a beneficial sport and social event in which runners contest a symbolical financial stake to be donated for charity. In last year's race (the first issue), the event organizers were able to raise over CZK 38,000. The one year anniversary will also celebrate the new, fully accessible sightseeing brewery tour for handicapped visitors that opened just a year ago.
Race for 'Paraple' is taking place for the second time in the court of the Pilsner Urquell in Plzen, this time as a part of the first concert of the Summer in Urquell. The main attraction of the event is a short-distance run of couples for a symbolical money stake. The ones who lose the race will donate a sum on the spot to the Paraple Centre for paraplegics. The event will be symbolically kicked-off by the composer and singer Jaroslav Uhlíř, who will appear on-stage afterwards.
"We are very pleased that the race is coming back to us this summer. Last year we had 120 runners. Through their bets, they contributed one-third of the total amount raised. The rest of the sum of CZK 38,000 was sponsored by Pilsner Urquell's sale of T-shirts with the logo of the Paraple Centre," says Jindřiška Eliášková, manager in the office for tourism and heritage in Pilsner Urquell.
Pilsner Urquell is proudly celebrating its fully accessibility to handicapped visitors in the last year. Not only were a series of technical measures and constructional changes applied, but the effort and professional approach of the highly trained and equipped guides also made it possible for people with different impairments to enjoy the instructional tour of Pilsner Urquell's history and techniques of brewing.
"Since the official opening last June, we have welcomed almost 350 handicapped visitors. They are mostly very enthusiastic both about the quality of the exhibition and the existence of the fully accessible tour, as well as about the approach of the staff in the Visitor Centre," adds Jindřiška Eliášková.
Notes for editors:
- Pilsner Urquell activities aimed at the visitors of the city of Plzen include the Visitor Centre, guided tour, brewery's bottling line and, of course, the Brewery Museum in the city centre. The brewery itself is one of the most favourite sightseeing destinations in the Czech Republic.
- Annually, 184,000 tourists from all over the world visit the brewery and the Brewery Museum.

Simon Katich passed one milestone at Emirates Old Trafford, but he wants to add another one tomorrow by helping Lancashire to their first LV= County Championship win of the season.
The former Australian Test opener reached 20,000 first-class runs on his way to 93 not out on the third day of the Division Two match against Kent.
His unbeaten 138-run stand with Steven Croft (47no), along with half-centuries from Karl Brown and Ashwell Prince, took Lancashire to 356-5 in their first innings in reply to Kent's 244 – a lead of 112.
But with only one day left in the match, Lancashire will have to score quickly in the morning and bowl well to force a result – and their first win of the campaign.
"We are in a position now to really put Kent under some pressure and get a result," said Katich. "We have done everything we can to put them under pressure, hopefully we can put them under some more pressure tomorrow with the bat and see where the game goes. We have to press on in the morning. We did that in the last session today when the bowlers tired a bit."
The Lancashire players were on the balcony applauding Katich when he scored the single from Mark Davies which took him to 87 and the magic 20,000 mark.
"It wasn't the focus today, that's for sure because I was a long way away," said Katich. "It is a very proud moment.
"For me it has always been about playing in winning teams and I have been lucky to do that. Tomorrow it is all about doing it again. If we win the game it will make it even more special.
"The lads were fantastic, they all got on the balcony and applauded.
"I am lucky it happened here at Emirates Old Trafford because I am not sure it would have been announced at any other ground like it was here. It was a nice touch."
James Anderson and Karl Brown set up the day for Lancashire with a 62-run stand in the morning session. The England bowler brought up their 50 partnership with a straight drive for four off Mark Davies, but he eventually fell for 26 – his second highest first-class score for Lancashire - when he was trapped lbw by Charlie Shreck.
Kent dropped three catches after lunch as first Brown escaped when he was put down by Davies at mid-on off the bowling of James Tredwell on 48.
In the following over Darren Stevens put down a chance from Prince at first slip off Matt Coles while he was on 18. And Coles was unlucky again when Sam Northeast failed to cling on to an edge in the slips with Brown on 61.
Brown, however, was bowled by Shreck while on 87, bringing to an end his 93-run stand with Prince. The former South African Test player scored his second successive half-century, but he too failed to convert when he was given out lbw to Stevens while on 58.
Katich and Croft upped the run rate in the final session as Lancashire looked to build a big lead.
And just after Katich had reached his 50 off 77 balls, Mike Powell dropped Kent's fourth catch of the day as the Australian skied a shot off Tredwell.
"I thought our top order did a fantastic job setting the game up for us," said Katich. "Full marks to Karl Brown and Jimmy, they did a fantastic job along with Ashwell - they made our job a lot easier in the final session to wear them down and get the scoreboard ticking over a lot quicker.

Recently, this paper has reported on the payments made by the Alabama attorney general's office for legal services. There are several issues related to these payments that require clarification.
Gov. Robert Bentley's first executive order transferred the responsibilities of the governor's Task Force on Illegal Gambling to the attorney general. My office accepted this responsibility, and we have done so with significantly less legal expenses in comparison to legal fees previously paid by the governor's office for enforcing these same laws. Gov. Bob Riley spent approximately $1.7 million in legal fees in his efforts to ensure enforcement of our laws in 2009 and 2010. To date, my office has spent significantly less due to our diligent efforts to handle more of this litigation with our in-house attorneys.
The attorney general's office has seized nearly $2 million from illegal casinos and $75 million is currently being pursued in unpaid taxes by casinos. Upon a successful outcome at trial, the monies will be transferred to the state General Fund. So far, more than a half-million dollars has been transferred to the General Fund from the proceeds of illegal gambling.
I do not take the expenditure of taxpayer funds for legal services lightly; we must use resources wisely. That is why I have made a concerted effort to reduce contingency fee legal contracts entered into by the state. On my first day in office, I brought the BP oil spill litigation in house, ending a contingency fee arrangement that my predecessor had entered into. This action will ultimately result in millions of dollars in recovery coming to the state, instead of going to outside lawyers.
Finally, the article referenced various other legal fees paid since 2011. As a point of clarification, the office was ordered by the State Board of Adjustment to make numerous payments for expenses incurred by former Attorney General Troy King. Such payments amounted to more than $97,000, of which more than $34,000 was ordered to be paid for the former attorney general's legal bills and an additional $63,000 in payments to another firm for legal fees related to state employee's deferred compensation plan.
I took an oath to enforce and defend the laws of the state of Alabama, and that is what I will continue to do at the most efficient cost possible for Alabama's taxpayers. I hope this sets the record straight.
Luther Strange
Alabama Attorney General

Want to beat Apple's MacBook Air? Build a MUCH cheaper version!
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Apple CEO Steve Jobs (right) looks at a display of the new MacBook Air during an Apple special event at the company's headquarters on Oct. 20, 2010 in Cupertino, Calif.
Here's the LA Times' Tech blog on how utterly awesome the MacBook Air is:
[JP Morgan analyst Mark] Moskowitz said that ultrabooks continue to be highly discretionary devices and that pricing for rival offerings must fall below $800 before posing a real threat to the MacBook Air. And beyond price, he said, other devices simply don't look as good or offer as much.
"In our view, Apple's first mover advantage and optimized feature set and form factor command a higher price that early adopters, productivity users, and Apple enthusiasts are willing to absorb," he said. "In contrast, we think that the first round of ultrabook offerings lacks the right blend of features and attractive price points to grab market share from Apple."
The MacBook Air costs $999 to $1,599.
I've been using a MacBook Air for several months now and it's indeed a superb piece of technology. I'm not sure how anyone could beat it going toe-to-toe. That "below $800" projection for the future competition is notable. It would have to be well under $800!

These tender cupcakes scented with vanilla are topped with a rich truffle filling, so chocolate lovers can have their cake and chocolate, too. Like our other cupcakes, these are best when served the same day they are made.–Michael Recchiuti and Fran Gage
White Cupcakes with Truffle Cream Topping Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes 12 cupcakes
- For the cupcakes
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup crème fraîche, at room temperature
- 2 extra large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, preferably Madagascar Bourbon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter with 82% butterfat, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated cane sugar
- For the topping
- 8 ounces 65% chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons powdered cane sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter with 82% butterfat, very soft (75°F or 24°C)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract, preferably Madagascar Bourbon
- Make the cupcakes
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 12 standard muffin cups (2 1/2 inches top diameter and 1 1/4 inches deep) with paper liners.
- 2. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a medium bowl.
- 3. Combine the crème fraîche, eggs, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and whisk by hand until well mixed.
- 4. Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until the butter is creamy. Add the granulated sugar and beat until fluffy and pale.
- 5. Switch the mixer to low speed. Add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions.
- 6. Using a tablespoon, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
- 7. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven until the cupcakes are puffed, lightly browned, slightly cracked on top, and a skewer inserted into the center of one comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack.
- 8. When cool, remove the cupcakes, still in their paper liners, from the muffin cups.
- Make the topping
- 9. Put the chocolate in a medium bowl.
- 10. Put the cream and powdered sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook at a simmer for 1 minute and remove from the heat.
- 11. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Whisk the mixture by hand until the chocolate melts. Whisk in the butter, and then the vanilla extract.
- 12. Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap so that the wrap is touching the surface, and refrigerate until it is 70°F (21°C). This will probably take 30 to 40 minutes, but check after 20 minutes.
- 13. When the cream is at the correct temperature, put it into the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on high speed until the mixture is lighter in color and less dense.
- 14. Put the topping into a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch star tip. Pipe a swirl on the top center of each cupcake, distributing the topping evenly among them.
- 15. Store in a cool place until serving.

President Rodney Erickson
Rodney A. Erickson assumed responsibilities as President of The Pennsylvania State University on November 9, 2011. Previously, Erickson served as Penn State's executive vice president and provost since July 1, 1999. As provost, he was chief academic officer of the University, responsible for administration of the University's resident instruction, research and continuing education, and for the general welfare of the faculty and students. As executive vice president, Erickson served as the chief executive officer in the president's absence, and was centrally involved in most operations of the University.
Erickson holds B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Minnesota, and was awarded a Ph.D. in geography from the University of Washington in 1973. He began his academic career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison before joining the faculty at Penn State in 1977. He was promoted to professor in both geography and business administration in 1984. He was named dean of the Graduate School in July 1995, and in March 1997 he assumed the additional responsibilities of vice president for research.
Among his other administrative assignments at Penn State, Erickson served as head of the Department of Geography in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, and as director of the Center for Regional Business Analysis and associate director of the Division of Research in the Smeal College of Business.
Erickson also served as chair of the Academic Leadership Council, which provides advice and counsel to the president on academic matters. He also was part of the Facilities Resources Committee, and a member of President's Council, as well as an ex-officio member of the University Faculty Senate and Senate Council. He has been the leader of many task forces in recent years, including the Task Force on Tuition, the University Cost Savings Task Force, and the University Strategic Planning Council. Erickson also oversaw the Academic Program and Administrative Services Review Core Council, which is the group charged with identifying $10 million in permanent cost savings and nontuition revenue sources for the University for the coming fiscal year.

Where are they?
Being originally from Philadelphia I have followed Villanova track for a long time. This spring I have missed two of their notable grads among the missing in race results. Jen Rhines is the 2002 10K champ who had a poor outing in her initial marathon. She showed up for the Cross country nationals and made the Worlds team even though she was lower in the finish than usual. She did not run the worlds and nothing else that I can see. Carrie Tollefson has just disappeared. I would like to hear what is going on with them if some one could bring me up to date.
Re: Where are they?
That's what's nice about google.
"Dawson, Minn., native Carrie Tollefson will test herself on the Melpomene course after struggling through a winter of injury. Tollefson is a member of Team USA Minnesota and is ranked among the top 10 in the U.S. at 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000 meters."

Coouldn't find much recent stuff on Rhines.

and all those distance runners.
Re: Where are they?
The April issue of TFN notes that LSU junior Muna Lee has a chance to become the first to win all four short sprints in one year since ISU's Holli Hyche in 1993. What in the world ever happened to Holli? I can remember thinking she showed some real promise.
Re: Where are they?
Martin McGrady. Man, there was a competitor.
Re: Where are they?
saw many McGrady / Evans duels. Whew. Track ... competition at its best. At or near Evans peak. Almost same script each time. And not so slow either. Second your motion ...
Re: Where are they?
Where is former HS 2 mile record holder Craig Virgin. I had heard he had been in a serious car accident that ended his running. But that was several years ago.
Re: Where are they?
don't know about Virgin, but Doug Padilla had a near life-ending accident while running - a few years ago.
Re: Where are they?
Re: Where is Craig Virgin?
I've seen him at several University of Illinois events over the past few years, all after the accident, which was in January 1997 (I think). The last time was probably the 2001 Big-10 XC meet in Champaign (the day that Alan Webb outkicked Matt Tegenkamp).
I also saw him run a UIUC XC alumni meet, but I don't remember exactly which year. He didn't run very fast, and I remember him stopping to change his shoes halfway through the race.
You might try a google search for "Craig Virgin" and accident -- that should bring up a few articles.
Re: Where are they?
>Coouldn't find much recent
>stuff on Rhines.
She was at the adidas "Women on the Run" panel at the Boston Marathon expo. Said she was injured and working her way back into racing, although I don't recall the specifics.
Aside from Grete Waitz, all the women on the panel were coming back from some type of injury. I don't know if this means that distance runners get injured a lot, of if it means that these particular women were available for public appearance because they were injured.

Bond Commissions Are Misunderstood
Bond commissions are a mystery to many investors, according to a study conducted for Charles Schwab. Though the overwhelming majority of survey respondents (98%) said receiving competitive pricing was either extremely or somewhat important, 44% did not know how much commission is in their broker-adjusted bond prices. Only 35% thought they received the best pricing from their brokers. Finally, 21% didn't think the quoted bond prices included commissions.
A probable cause of the confusion is the way bonds are priced. Whereas commissions for stock trades are clearly posted on brokerage websites, bond commissions are not. Rather, brokerage firms mark up or mark down bond prices. Markups and markdowns adjust the bond prices to reflect the firm's commission. In other words, instead of being charged a published commission of $7 to $10 per trade, as is the case with stocks, investors pay a fee that is based on the security's price and fee.
Knowing what you will be charged typically requires a call to the broker. Charles Schwab's website says no commissions are charged for Treasuries and $1 is charged per corporate and municipal bond (with a minimum $10 charge and a maximum $250 charge). Scottrade says it applies a markup and a markdown to Treasury and municipal bonds, while charging $35 plus $3 per bond for listed corporate bonds. TD Ameritrade charges $25 for Treasuries bought at auction. Commissions for all other bonds are billed on a net yield basis, which is the same as a markup or a markdown. Fidelity does not charge for Treasuries and lists a $1 per bond fee for corporate and municipal bonds, but states in fine print that its affiliate may separately mark the bonds up or down.

Based solely on appearances, Sunflora is not the most threatening Pokemon around. That harmless guise is just a ploy, however. If every rose has its thorns, this sunflower comes packing a full-on machete. Base 105 Special Attack might seem only above average, but with a boost from Solar Power in the sun, it can be deadly. Sunflora's decent-at-best bulk and terrible Speed aren't winning it any awards, however. Though Sunflora can use Chlorophyll to make up for its lacking speed, its Special Attack ceases to be as impressive as it is with Solar Power and it becomes sorely outclassed by the likes of Exeggutor. It might be slow and frail, but this flower packs one hell of a punch. It's also super cute!
Sunny Day is the first move Sunflora should be using, unless sun is already up; otherwise, it fails to be effective at anything. SolarBeam is Sunflora's main weapon, as its high Base Power, STAB, and lack of a charge turn in sun is a huge draw. Hidden Power Rock offers good coverage, though Hidden Power Fire is also a solid choice, and it gets a boost from sun to boot. Morning Sun is the best option for the last slot, as Sunflora's health is slowly depleted each turn by Solar Power and Morning Sun heals an impressive 66% in sun. Earth Power is an option for greater coverage, however, and becomes a pseudo-QuakeEdge combination alongside Hidden Power Rock.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Sunflora has access to Encore, which can be useful in helping a teammate set up. It can also set up on its own with Growth, which boosts its Attack and Special Attack by two stages under sun, but Sunflora's frailty limits its opportunities to set up. Substitute can be used to ease prediction and protect against status, but the loss of HP from Solar Power means that Sunflora's lifespan will be cut even shorter. Finally, Sunflora can function as a suicide sun lead, setting up Sunny Day while clinging to life with a Focus Sash. With a Speed boost from Chlorophyll, it can then abuse a quick Endeavor to severely weaken its opponent.
Checks and Counters
Being both slow and frail, Sunflora is not exactly a tough foe to defeat. Fast sweepers, such as Rotom-S, can outspeed even Chlorophyll Sunflora in sun and easily OHKO it. Choice Scarf users in general will outspeed and have little trouble revenge killing the frail Sunflora. If Sunflora doesn't run Hidden Power Rock, Braviary becomes a huge threat as well. Anything that can tank a SolarBeam, such as Roselia, can also easily beat Sunflora.

Abstract of paper to be presented by Emilio Spadola, Colgate University, at the conference "Fez, Morocco, Crossroads of Knowledge and Power: Celebrating 1,200 Years of Urban Life"
In hidden rooms of Fez Medina, old Qur'anic teachers (fuqaha') write secret talismans to summon invisible spirits (jinns). Meanwhile, on public stages and popular videos, young Islamic revivalists with microphones recite the Qur'an to exorcize the same jinns as an act of da`wa or Islamic outreach. This paper examines the differing spatial logics and social relations embedded in these two curing rites: What historically and socially specific formations of person, space, and authority are invoked by the hidden, silent and exclusive knowledge of old scholars? What distinct logics of person, space, and authority are announced in public calls and vocal performances of knowledge?
Drawing on observations and artifacts of the rites—the written "hijabs" based on medieval spirit sciences (al-`ilm al-ruhaniyya), the video exorcisms grounded in contemporary Islamic reform and revival—the paper describes the distinct social histories embedded in the practices and the distinct social positions of their practitioners. Second and more fundamentally, the paper identifies these rites with differing socio-political conceptions of space and place in Fez, that is, with religious traditions of public performance and authority, with hierarchical or egalitarian orders of person and collective. These differences can be explained, in part, by generational differences in these curers' educations (from mosque to mass schooling) and communicative habits (from written and face-to-face encounters to electronic contact). Their significance, however, must be elaborated. I propose that their differing claims and techniques map out the social conditions of an historical encounter: between an older Moroccan hierarchy which binds authority to specific and exclusive sacred persons and places—bearers of baraka, saints' tombs, and mosques—and a newer Islamic revivalist egalitarianism which maps the sacred into a putatively unified social field comprising all city dwellers and formed by the broadcast call.

Colors of El Salvador
My friend, Zhu of Correr Es Mi Destino encouraged me to take part in this photography contest. Basically you share a photo that represents the colors blue, red, green, yellow and white. I decided to go through my photos from last year's trip to El Salvador and see what I could find.
A sign on our way to Chalatenango to visit family.
This is my younger son eating a paleta while we wait for Carlos to finish paperwork at DUI Centro. In El Salvador, DUI doesn't mean "Driving Under the Influence" – it means "Documento Único de Identidad" – it's an ID card. Waiting at DUI Centro is kind of like waiting around the DMV, except family members aren't allowed inside – possibly due to space limitations but the windows were tinted which made me think there might be other reasons. Also, before they give you your ID, you have to answer all kinds of questions, like whether you have tattoos. If they don't believe you, they sometimes ask you to take off your shirt so they can check.
Anyhow, this paleta was really cheap – I can't remember how much but I remember I bought a few paletas for my sons and our friends who had taken us to DUI Centro but it still didn't add up to five dollars – and the smallest bill I had on me was a five dollar bill. The paleta man was very distraught and started asking random people if they had smaller bills so I could trade with them and so he could give me proper change. No one had change or at least no one wanted to get involved in the transaction. I told him it was no big deal and he could keep the change. Paleta man became even more distraught and when I refused extra popsicles, he ended up giving me tons of free napkins to make up for it.
Days later Carlos had a similar incident with a paleta man but this paleta man happily took the extra change, his eyes glistening with tears and said "God bless you" a half dozen times.
This is Cine Libertad which is an old cinema that closed down.
This is Teatro Nacional in San Salvador which is the oldest theater in Central America.
This is a "chucho aguacatero" (street dog) in San Salvador. He may have belonged to the owner of the food stall where he was hanging out or maybe he just found a good location for lunch.
Here's a bonus – in this music video by Salvadoran group Pescozada, you can see many San Salvador landmarks, including two places you see in my photographs above. Can you spot them?
Also, if you have more time, I encourage you to watch the beautiful short film, Cinema Libertad.
Want to post your own color-themed photos? Check out the original Capture the Colour Contest to find out how to participate. (August 29th, 2012 deadline.)
I'm supposed to tag five people to participate, (although anyone is welcome to play along!) Here are the five I'm choosing mostly based on who I think will have some awesome photos, (although if any of you don't have time, no problem!)
1. Carrie of Bilingual in the Boonies
2. Ana and/or Roxana of SpanglishBaby
3. Aisha of Aisha Iqbal
4. Dariela of Mami Talks
5. Susan of Medina Adventures

I used to live in a town in Sonsonate in the early 2000s. Your blog is a wonderful reminder of my time in El Salvador. Thanks for sharing your stories and photos
Holi smokes!!!! Acabo de ver el cortometraje "Cinema Libertad" . Me recuerda cuando me escapaba de la escuela para ir al cine con el novio, escondia una camisa "particular" en mi bolsón para poder entrar, y sentaditos en lo oscuro agarraditos de la mano viendo Footlose!
Gracias Tracy por compartir!
Thanks for the tag! I love these sorts of memes. Love the popsicle shot!
Hi! Que bonita foto del teatro, me gusta ese tono de amarillo.
Thanks for thinking of me! Your shots are excellent by the way. We're still in Bolivia so I'm not sure I can participate right now, but maybe when we get back. I haven't taken as many shots here as I normally do…been a little sick…but there should be a few interesting ones in there somewhere.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The paper and printing of the postcard is better from what I imagine it. It surpassed my expectations. The shipping was very fast, and usually shippings to Puerto Rico take longer. The design is just what we wanted and the website is very user friendly in helping you making your card. Thank you so much!"
"I ordered this magnet for our destination wedding. I fell in love with it when I first saw it on the website and after searching for others, none came even close to this one! We received many compliments from our guests, highly recommend it. The shipping was fast and efficient. The picture quality is good, could be better, but we loved it anyway! It would be great if they had matching invites, announcements, and thank you cards."
"My fiance and I chose this layout for a photo of us at sunset featuring the lake and a lot of oranges and pinks in the background. The photograph came out beautifully- Very crisp! The material is heavy enough to hold other things onto the magentic area (refrigerator, etc) as well, and good quality. Lastly, the shipping was amazing. Our order was sitting on my doorstep 4 days later. A full week before the expected date!"
"loved my save the date and so did everyone else! I've seen other save the dates from other websites and they were not as good of quality as these! I customized the colors on my magnets and it turned out great. I will definitely recommend these and wedding paper divas to everyone. Thanks!!"
"I was a little skeptical at first. So I thought well, I'll order the save-the-dates first, and if I like them then I'll order my wedding invitations. When they arrived, I immediatley LOVED THEM! I loved the quality of the paper, the picture, the design. They looked sooo professionally done, and they looked expensive, which they really weren't. Someone I know had save the dates for her daughters Quince, and I know she spent more, and they didnt have the same quality that mine do."

In a game of runs, a confident Stanford team used savvy play to keep the Cats from jumping ahead.
"We beat a good Northwestern team," said Stanford head coach Johnny Dawkins. "I give them credit. They never let up."
It appeared Northwestern was in trouble early, with a weak showing on defense and no answer on offense. Stanford, which had been shooting just barely 25 percent from beyond the arc, had luck on its side to start the game, hitting five of its first six threes.
"They have not shot the ball well [from three] this year," said Carmody. "But they certainly knocked them down in the first half."
Northwestern trailed by 18 points during a first-half timeout. That's when senior guard Alex Marcotullio helped voice a message to his team.
"We've got to step up and play harder," were the words stated on the bench. It resonated with the team.
It was Marcotullio—with a back injury behind him—who sparked his team with a long-range three-pointer. That was the start of an important run.
Northwestern's run reached 10 unanswered when Reggie Hearn scooped up a loose basketball and slammed in a forceful dunk. The run continued, reaching 17 straight NU points when Hearn banked in a layup. The Wildcats turned a laugher into a ballgame.
"That was no surprise," said Dawkins. "I told our team the entire time: 'expect a great game.' And we got one."
Stanford began to separate in the second half, but guard Tre Demps gave Northwestern a boost off the bench. He tallied 12 second-half points, with his most important pair evening the margin at 67 with less than two minutes remaining. However, Aaron Bright responded with a three of his own to give Stanford its lead back.
With Hearn sidelined and Sobolewski scuffling, the final shot was offered to Demps. He drove to the rim, but his layup bounced out.
"I knew I could get past [Stanford center] Dwight Powell," Demps said of the final possession. "The shot just didn't fall."
Each time the Cardinal was prepared to pull away, Northwestern battled back. However, the Wildcats' only lead of the game was 2-0. Stanford had an answer each time.
"I thought we had key stops when we needed them and key buckets when we needed them," said Dawkins. "I'm really proud of our guys for stepping up in this kind of environment."
Northwestern has one tune-up game before Big Ten play opens on January 3rd, with Brown traveling to Welsh-Ryan Arena on Sunday. The Wildcats—already without forward Drew Crawford—may not have Reggie Hearn on their side as he suffered an ankle injury in the second half. He left the arena wearing a boot for protection.
A win over the Bears would provide a needed morale boost entering a long layoff. For now, the Wildcats must sulk in a painful defeat.

American Winter – 2013, NR, 90 minutes. This documentary feature film follows the personal stories of families struggling in the aftermath of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Filmed over the course of one winter in one American city, the film presents an intimate snapshot of the state of the nation's economy as it is playing out in millions of American families, and highlights the human consequences of the decline of the middle class and the fracturing of the American Dream.
Sep 4 2014 - 7:00pm
Sep 21 2014 - 10:00am to Jan 4 2015 - 5:00pm
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth presents URBAN THEATER: NEW YORK ART IN THE 1980s. Vibrant, vital, and discordant, the New York art scene of the 1980s gave rise to some of the contemporary art world's most recognizable features. As the artists who emerged in that decade now set records at auction, the era is ripe to be reexamined. Representing in turns a cool irony, reflections on media culture, consumerism, cartoons, and street art, the work collected here re-creates the tense energy of a grittier New York.

Is there a rumor you've heard you would like to track down? Is there something in the community that needs to get fixed? Mary Malahy answers some of the mysteries of life in the Elmbrook area.
History of St. Mary's Thrift Shop intrigues reader
Issue: A reader wants to know the history of St. Mary's Thrift Shop in Elm Grove. She is curious to know how the store came about, who runs the store and how much revenue it brings in a year.
Status: I spoke with Penny Kannall, manager of St. Mary's Thrift Shop, and she said that no one seems to know for sure how the store started but she believes it began in the St. Mary's Visitation Parish School basement as a clothing exchange between families.
She explained that because the families usually had many children, they would exchange clothing to save money. Over time the families began selling the clothes instead of trading them. The shop moved from the school basement to the church across the street and then to the current location, 13150 Juneau Blvd., about 10 years ago.
The store brings in about $150,000 a year, and the vast majority of it goes to the school in order to keep tuition down, Kannall said. She said she is the store's only full-time paid employee. A few part-time employees and several volunteers work at the store as well. The store is open Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.

MEXICO CITY — MEXICO CITY (AP) - A new survey finds that eight of 10 Mexicans support the military crackdown against drug traffickers launched in 2006.
The poll released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center finds that 80 percent of those questioned support the army's active role in the fight.
Still, most also worry about human rights violations by the military and police: About 74 percent saying that's a big problem.
The survey by the Washington-based center is based on face-to-face interviews with 1,200 Mexicans from across the country between March 20 and April 2. The error rate is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
More than 47,000 people have been killed in drug violence nationwide since President Felipe Calderon began deploying thousands of troops to drug hot spots in December 2006.

AUSTIN -- He's the man detectives call the only serial bank robber roaming Austin. He is a criminal who flaunts his calling card on his face.
"What's unique about him is the fact that he wears masks," said Austin Police Department detective Billy Parks.
Police said that's exactly what the man they've coined the "Trick or Treat Bandit" did Thursday morning. Around 9:30 a.m. he walked into IBC bank off Braker Lane and Burnet Road, pulled out a handgun and demanded cash.
His face was hidden as usual and this time it was behind a bandanna.
Police said when it comes to disguises, the bandit doesn't discriminate. He has sported everything from a ballcap and a pair of sunglasses to more creative costuming.
"I fully expect this suspect to continue to rob again," said Parks.
A look at his record shows why. Since 2009 police blame the bandit for seven bank robberies, all in North Austin, two of the banks he hit twice.
"We want to stop him before he hurts someone," said Parks. "He started out just using, pointing, his finger at people and now he's pointing a weapon."
The handgun he now carries have police turning to the public for help. APD hopes somebody recognizes the husky Hispanic man who stands at about 5'7".
"Someone out there knows this person," said Parks. "This is someone's uncle, this is someone's brother, this is someone's friend."
Friend or not, up to $6,000 is being offered to whoever turns the bandit in.
Police said the robber was last seen driving a late 1997 to 2000 model Toyota Camry. It's described as greyish-green in color and has gold lettering and a sunroof.

The March/April 2009 Michigan Capitol Confidential has a story about the Michigan Education Association launching recalls against local school board members who seek to save money by hiring private contractors to do non-instructional work like prepare meals, drive buses and clean the schools. What do you think?
The "Michigan Capitol Confidential" is a tool of the Mackinac Center, used to further their position. Is Michigan Votes so desperate they must resort to inciting Michiganders to comment with stories from their own publication? Isn't presenting the bills with a biased description working out for them?
The MEA has no power or authority to recall public
officials, including "local school board members who seek to save money by
hiring private contractors to do non-instructional work like prepare meals,
drive buses and clean the schools."
The power to recall school board members lies solely in the
hands of a district's voters.
Yes, MEA and its minions may push for, and even organize
recall efforts. But let's not
forget that any school board member ousted in a recall election is ousted by
the district's voting public. That
is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
What do I think about this?
Well, it is important for communities to be well informed
about what is going on in their midst.
That's what I think. Well-informed
communities are poised to make quality decisions on matters like recall and
other elections.
Propaganda of the sort dispensed by organizations like the
MEA, the Mackinac Center and any and all of a jillion other special interest
organizations often contains kernels of factual truth. But because of its bias that propaganda
seldom, if ever, is accurately informative. Trouble is, few local news organizations will dig for the
truth either, preferring, instead, to "stand neutral" by quoting the special
interest mouthpieces on various sides of any given question. So from those media all you really get
is a synopsis or sampling of propaganda being dispensed.
Voters are advised in all cases to tune up their BS
detection gear (brains) in considering issues of importance to their
communities, counties, state or nation.
And from there, they should make their own, independent decisions.
Good thought on the basis of the recall, freespeaker. Your characterization is indeed how it appears in the printed version of the story -- and now in the corrected version of this thread. In both cases it now says "launch recalls against." In my haste to post this discussion thread, I misquoted. Thanks for the note.
There is no disputed propoganda regarding the strategy being deployed. The fact of the MEA's hostility toward these private contracting decisions and the local officials who agree to them is evidenced by the MEA's own spokesperson who told the MIRS Capitol Capsule newsletter in December that the union sends "directors and consultants" and all the resources we can possibly provide to fight the battle" against districts wishing to privatize.
As you note, more information is needed in all of these discussions. These fights over privatization often happen out of sight of the community because very few people attend school board meetings or follow the actions of same (and the same holds much of the news media.) And, obviously, virtually nobody -- other than the outside combatants from the vested interest groups -- attends meetings in OTHER communities to see what disputes may be coming to their community one day. One important purpose of Michigan Capitol Confidential is to help fill in these cracks in coverage and give its audience stories that they probably are not seeing elsewhere.
As to the propoganda allegation: It's a fee service and voluntarily subscribed to. Anybody who wants on the list is added, anybody who wants off is immediately removed. The only agenda is to give MORE information than is commonly available elsewhere to people who want to read it -- hardly akin to mass force-feeding of a half-truth upon an unwitting population.
I should also note that it is an objective fact that the MEA is involved in these recall efforts.
Note this article from a newspaper in Escanaba, which has an MEA spokesperson fielding questions for a committee that is organizing a recall effort.
I don't see where the problem related to hiring private contractors to do the non instructional services in schols is. I have an office cleaning service and I would be delighted to expand my business by also working with schools. Since they save money by hiring private contractors, it's a win win situation.
Right, @archieotto ... i dont see the problem too. I working in a translation agency (Übersetzung Deutsch Englisch) - and i can agree you thats only a win win situation!

Dead Rising 2 Media Shows Xbox 360-Only Prologue, Tiger, Zombies, Wristwatchby Alice O'Connor, Jun 15, 2010 7:43pm PDT
Dead Rising 2's Xbox 360-exclusive "downloadable prologue" is shown off in the E3 media blast for Blue Castle's zombie-smashing game, not to mention man-mauling tigers, TNT arrows, a very practical wristwatch and the love between a father and his daughter.
Bridging the gap between the original Dead Rising and its sequel, the 'Case Zero' prologue will be released for Xbox 360 ahead of the full game to show how the adventures of Chuck Greene and his daughter began.
Dead Rising 2 is slated to hit PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 simultaneously on August 31 in North America, coming to Europe on September 3. If you're an awful person, you'll be delighted to hear that Playboy pictures will be featured throughout the game.

Last summer, Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard law professor, held a series of houseparties around Massachusetts, to test support for a possible run for the United States Senate. A veteran Democratic activist in Andover named M J Powell recalled, "They called me on a Thursday and asked if I could have a meet-and-greet two days later. I figured I could probably get fifty people. It turned out we had a hundred and forty-eight. People overflowed to the porch."
Warren described the scene to me: "It was incredibly hot. There were way too many people in this room. So the thing I have always hated is that I'm shouting, because they keep saying outside, 'We can't hear you!' "
At one point, someone asked Warren if she was engaging in class warfare. "No," she said. "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there, good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate." For decades, American politicians, including many Democrats, had celebrated private enterprise and offered only tepid, almost apologetic endorsements of public goods. Here, in contrast, was Warren's rousing defense of the welfare state. . . .

Fifteen kids who love to explore the world have been selected as members of the third annual National Geographic Kids Hands-On Explorer Challenge Expedition Team. This July, the talented and lucky kids, along with two winning teachers, will travel to Australia to explore the natural wonders of Queensland's Great Barrier Reef and prehistoric Daintree Rainforest. Then the explorers will visit Tasmania, where they will participate in a conservation project with local students to help protect the Tasmanian devil, and explore Mt Field National Park. Throughout the expedition, the team will update a blog with pictures and details of the trip.
The six boys and nine girls were chosen from thousands of entries nationwide. Kids were asked to write an original essay of no more than 300 words telling National Geographic Kids magazine how they actively explore their world and the most interesting things they have found in it. Students also submitted a photograph, shot by themselves, that illustrated what, where or how they explored the subject of their essay. A panel of National Geographic experts selected 15 kids whose essays and photographs expressed the most interest in and passion for exploring, while adhering to the judging criteria.
The expedition team is sponsored in part by the marketers of Purell® Instant Hand Sanitizer, Tourism Australia and Nikon®, who will be outfitting each winner with a D60 digital SLR camera to document their adventure.
